Chapter 92: Foundation Establishment Late Stage, Accepting a Sect Mission

Eight hours later.

Mu Lingxi returned, having been soundly defeated.

However, because she was rewarded with a Perfect Heavenly Spirit Pill, she was very happy when she left.

Wang Jianqiang stood by the second-floor window, his expression indifferent, standing with his hands behind his back.

A light breeze blew into the window, brushing his hair and robes, and an aura of a master naturally emerged.

Just a moment ago, he had a flash of inspiration and triggered his Pure Yang Power at a critical juncture.

The effect was surprisingly good.

Eight hours was merely Mu Lingxi's limit, not his.

He had easily crossed the mountain that was Mu Lingxi.

Not until Mu Lingxi left did Wang Jianqiang's tense body finally collapse.

He closed the window, took out a Perfect Purple Qi Pill, and began to cultivate.

This seclusion lasted for over half a year.

Relying on a massive amount of Perfect Pill support, Wang Jianqiang successfully broke through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage at a speed that even Heavenly Spirit Root cultivators would find difficult to match.

Naturally, there were no shortage of interludes during this time.

Mu Lingxi came to visit him every ten to fifteen days; she successfully broke through to the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage four months ago, though her debt was not paid off until a month ago.

Dong Yue had been promoted from an Outer Sect Elder to an Inner Sect Elder; she was usually quite busy, but she managed to squeeze in a few visits amidst her hectic schedule.

Wang Yu Yao visited just as frequently as Mu Lingxi; because she had the Perfect Purple Qi Pill supplied by Wang Jianqiang, she broke through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage a month ago.

His Supernatural Ability Points, Golden Attribute Points, and Silver Attribute Points had each increased by one, and now he had accumulated 4 of each.

At the same time, he was rewarded with 800 Attribute Points.

Compared to when he broke through from the Foundation Establishment Early Stage to the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage, the Attribute Point reward had increased by 300 points.

In other words, as her cultivation level continued to rise, the Attribute Point rewards after each breakthrough would become more and more numerous.

As his cultivation level grew higher, the expenditure of Attribute Points would inevitably become higher and higher.

Relying purely on Alchemy and artifact refining would certainly make it difficult to keep up with the supply.

Being able to have a new and highly productive source of Attribute Points was undoubtedly great news for him.

Afterwards, he did not immediately end his seclusion, but instead spent some time stabilizing his cultivation.

"Cheep, cheep~"

On this day, the dissatisfied chirping of the chick suddenly reached his ears.

"Alright, I'll take you out for a stroll now."

Wang Jianqiang opened his eyes, looked at the chick, and smiled.

Over the past half year, the chick had not left the courtyard even once.

He could occasionally relieve his boredom, but the chick had it worse; it had long since been bored to death.

Just as Wang Jianqiang was taking the chick out of the Pavilion and walking toward the courtyard gate.

The Restriction outside the courtyard was suddenly triggered.

Wang Jianqiang pointed his finger at the Jade Pendant at his waist.

The Restriction at the courtyard gate opened.

A figure walked into the courtyard.

Seeing the visitor, Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow.

Mu Lingxi?

Quite a coincidence.

When he had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage, he happened to run into her, and now that he had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, he ran into her visiting again.

Mu Lingxi had just walked into the courtyard and, seeing Wang Jianqiang, she paused, "Senior Brother Wang, are you preparing to go out?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "I've been in seclusion for so long, I'm preparing to go out for some fresh air."

Mu Lingxi nodded, "Senior Brother Wang, I'm planning to go execute a sect mission soon; would you like to come along?"

Wang Jianqiang was startled.

He immediately remembered one thing.

Every Inner Sect Disciple must go and execute one sect mission within two years.

Calculating the time, he had been in the Inner Sect for over a year and a half, so it was time to go choose a mission.

Thinking of this, he smiled and nodded, "Alright."

Then, he inadvertently leaked a trace of his aura.

"Eh?"

Mu Lingxi let out a sound of surprise and doubt.

In disbelief, she took out a Crystal Ball, sensed it carefully for a moment, then looked at Wang Jianqiang in shock, stuttering slightly, "Sen~Senior Brother Wang, you~you have~broken through again?"

Wang Jianqiang stood with his hands behind his back, his face indifferent, "I just broke through not long ago."

"How are you so fast?" Mu Lingxi's eyes widened.

Wang Jianqiang smiled faintly, "Didn't I already say before? The pills I obtained in the Cold Pool Secret Realm were not just the Perfect Foundation Establishment Pill?"

"You have other Perfect Pills?" Mu Lingxi couldn't help but ask.

"Ahem, there were a total of three types of pills I obtained in the Cold Pool Secret Realm..."

"There is also a type of pill that increases cultivation."

Wang Jianqiang did not tell the truth.

Before Mu Lingxi's Good and Evil Value for him reached the maximum, it was better to keep some things from her.

Mu Lingxi blinked her eyes, "Are there any more?"

Wang Jianqiang gave a dry cough, "There is actually some left."

"Can you give me some?"

Mu Lingxi looked at Wang Jianqiang with eager eyes.

"Of course." Wang Jianqiang nodded without the slightest hesitation.

Mu Lingxi was delighted.

"Just follow the old rules."

Wang Jianqiang's voice continued.

Mu Lingxi's smile stiffened.

She had only just rested for a month.

It was just that the adjectives in this world were rather scarce; if she lived in the world Wang Jianqiang had traveled from, she would surely have shouted out loud.

Even a donkey on a production team shouldn't be worked this hard, right?

However, at the thought that she could break through again in just a few short months, she couldn't help but cast aside this trace of worry and nodded happily.

Wang Jianqiang smiled.

She really was a woman who knew how to seize an opportunity.

He rubbed his shoulders, "Your Senior Brother is suddenly feeling a bit tired."

"Senior Brother, let me help you go rest." Mu Lingxi was quick-eyed and nimble-handed; she immediately stepped forward to support Wang Jianqiang.

A moment later, the two entered the Pavilion.

Leaving behind only the wide-eyed chick.

A moment later, the chick rolled its eyes and covered its forehead with its small wings.

……

One day later.

Wang Jianqiang also called Wang Yu Yao over.

The three of them left the small courtyard and arrived at the Internal Affairs Hall.

The place for accepting missions was in a large hall.

The hall was crowded with people.

For the majority of Disciples, sect missions were the only way to obtain Spirit Stones and various resources.

A large number of Disciples gathered here year-round, and some missions with high cost-effectiveness or low difficulty would be snatched up as soon as they were issued.

The missions that remained hanging on the mission light screen were either of low cost-effectiveness or extremely high difficulty.

Wang Jianqiang swept his gaze over the light screen, and seeing no missions with a Pill Formula as a reward, he picked a mission at random.

The mission content was to head to Black Water City, eight thousand miles away, and kill three Demonic Sect Cultivators who were wreaking havoc in the city.

All three had cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage.

The difficulty of this mission was not considered great for them.

However, the reward was only three thousand Spirit Stones.

It was completely mismatched with the difficulty of the mission.

But he was not short on Spirit Stones.

Wang Yu Yao had him providing for her, so she wasn't short on them either.

Needless to say, Mu Lingxi was even less short on them.

How many Spirit Stones the reward offered was not important to them; as long as they could complete the biennial mission quota and get it over with, that was enough.

……

Punishment Hall.

Inside a gloomy great hall.

Yan Biao respectfully looked up at Si Tianyong, who was sitting on a high chair in front, "Great Hall Master, according to reports from the Hall's Deacons, it has been discovered that Wang Jianqiang, Wang Yu Yao, and Mu Lingxi have already accepted the mission to clear out the Demonic Sect disciples in Black Water City."

Finally leaving the sect, are they?

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Si Tianyong's eyes.

"Little brat, I cannot move against you openly within the sect, but once you are out of the sect, I want to see who can still save you!"
